Bird identification is pretty tricky, but our brain is wired to short cut much of the thinking involved, the trick is training yourself to do it like a pro. That is the aim of the lighthearted but informative program. Alvaro Jaramillo is the author of the Birds of Chile, and the Identify Yourself column in Bird Watcher’s Digest. He runs a birding and nature tour company Alvaro’s Adventures, www.alvarosadventures.com.
